Did you know that CNN opened with "4 Israelis and 2 Palestinians killed"? LOL that's like
"19 Al-Qaeda and 2997 Americans killed"
You must be smoking some seriously good shit, or you're drinking from a tainted well or something. You're completely off your rocker.
That's not even close to a fair comparison. Comparing an international motorcycle club with chapters on 6 continents to Hamas and the PLO?
Nickster's far fetched example was much more accurate, despite the wording. If the Canadian gov't openly called for the destruction of the US, lobbed rockets at the US daily, continuously sent its troops over the border in raiding parties to kill or kidnap Americans, and encouraged its people to engage in acts of terrorism against US civilians and military targets, what do you think would happen?
When I was a kid my father told me to never start a fight. However, if someone were to punch me I was to beat his ass into the dirt, using any tactics necessary to win the fight, so he couldn't punch me a second time. When someone comes at you with force, a meek response isn't going to deter them. You need to pummel them into submission so they can't or won't do it again. This holds true whether it be a school yard fist fight, or war.
If the Palestinian people want to live in peace they should elect new leadership and stop attacking Israelis. It does not appear they want to live in peace though, since they keep terrorists as their leaders, continuously launch rockets at Israel, continuously sent armed raiding parties into Israel to kill or kidnap Israelis, and encourage their civilians to carry out armed attacks.
When they do, Israel always responds disproportionately to their aggression, as they should when dealing with acts of war/terrorism. You'd think the Palestine people would be aware of this by now, and do something to change their ways, but they don't.
If they don't want to live in peace, they'll live in pieces instead.
t seems to me that Israel just doesn't have any respect for Palestinian lives. Terrorist or civilian, they don't give a flying fuck, it's all the same. The strategy is this: Let's just bomb them all till they finally bow down and admit we're the boss... yeah, great strategy...
They're taking a page out of the USA's playbook.
It was two assholes, not the "Palestinian people". That's my whole fucken point. Now they're all going to suffer while Israel goes ape shit.
Then when the IDF invades, the rockets from Hamas will start firing again, and it'll be, "omg, we need to stop the rockets... more incursion needed!", and on, and on, and on. Really, you don't see what's happening?
Wait, so you're saying the Palestinian gov't is openly calling for the destruction of Israel, and they're launching rockets daily? I don't know what news you're reading.
There are terrorist organizations in Palestine openly calling for the destruction of Israel, and the civilian Palestinians have nothing to do with it. They just want to live regular lives and make gay WordPress blogs like the rest of us. Why should Israel rob them of this dream because they co-exist with terrorists?
Shut the fuck up Nickster you annoying kunt. Militant atheist, femen excuser and now militant jew zionist.
Do you have any more jew stereotypes you'd like to put forth?
the holocaust survivors came in and turned what was once a malaria ridden desert shithole into what it is today, then the arabs wanted to catch the rays of sunshine seeing all the success they had, set up shop and called themselves palestinians. they're the only wealthy nation in the middle east whose income is not directly derived and dependent on scarce natural resource. their contributions to human kind and society at large go way beyond what's in the average americans gas tank. the palestinians get no sympathy and surprisingly even if they were to get kicked out no arab nations would take them in with open arms
So when a few Hell's Angels from Ontario go into Detroit to kill a few people, that's justification for the US military to mobilize and invade all of Ontario?
That's a pretty fair comparison.
shutting down the third holiest Islamic site called Al-Aqsa mosque and claiming it for themselves.
kimansk.. what your saying I understand.. but still mate.. alot is open to debate.. the jews and Palestinians are both at fault here.. and are BOTH guilty of ignorance.
Its not a point of sympathy.. just the facts..
Lol yeah, by their own sweat and who knows how many trillions in aid from the US, UK, France and particularly Germany. To this day the 3rd generation after WW2 pay some lazy Israeli money.
Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid ($121 billion, not inflation-adjusted) since World War II. Seventy-four percent of these funds must be spent purchasing US goods and services.
Israel has received more direct aid from the United States since World War II than any other country, but the amounts for the first half of this period were relatively small. Between 1949 and 1973, the U.S. provided Israel with an average of about $122 million a year, a total of $3.1 billion (and actually more than $1 billion of that was loans for military equipment in 1971-73) . Prior to 1971, Israel received a total of only $277 million in military aid, all in the form of loans as credit sales. The bulk of the economic aid was also lent to Israel. By comparison, the Arab states received nearly three times as much aid before 1971, $4.4 billion, or $170 million per year. Moreover, unlike Israel, which receives nearly all its aid from the United States, Arab nations have gotten assistance from Asia, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and the European Community. Congress first designated a specific amount of aid for Israel (an "earmark") in 1971.
28% of the israeli population are jewish.
